      [continued from previous message]               -I revised my script called "install" and some scripts and one function       that it calls. These all belong to my SAM menu called Zombie--which I hope to       release soon as a library. Script install uses rsync to clone a reference       Slackware installation        and then tweaks it to make changes needed for good behavior when installed to       a flashdrive, plus some other helpful tweaks as well.               -Using my revised Zombie menu I installed ZombieSlack/Slackware-15.0 to a       GPT partition on a flashdrive, making it EFI-bootable in the process. It took       two tries to get the code right, but in the end it worked. I'm using it now       to post this. I just        plugged the flashdrive into my old Prodesk tower and booted the UEFI entry.        Note that this is real Slackware, *with* persistence.              To answer your question about what you can do:               -I would guess that you can just run grub-install again until you get it       right, without re-installing Slackware. That's what I did, anyway.               -Note that I did *not* use chroot. Here is the grub-install invocation       that I used in my script.               grub-install --recheck \        --boot-directory /mnt/to/boot \        --removable \        --target x86_64-efi \        --efi-directory /mnt/EFI_install \        --bootloader-id grub \        $1              I gave "/dev/sdd" for "$1", as that's what the flashdrive happened to be when       I ran the script. The flashdrive had a gpt partition table and four       partitions (I used parted):               # f.s. mounted GB flags        1 ext2 /mnt/to 23        2 ext2 /mnt/keep_install 0.5        3 swap 1.0        4 fat32 /mnt/EFI_install 0.2 boot, esp              Let me say that this was just a "first success", so maybe there's a better way       to do it.              Good luck to you!              -Joe              P.S. I used the "tips" you provided, prior experience, plus this website:              https://linuxlink.timesys.com/docs/engineering/wiki/HOWTO_Instal       _GRUB2_with_EFI_support              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
